Inter hit six past Benevento at ghostly San Siro

By Daily Sports on January 14, 2019

Inter Milan cruised into the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia on Sunday after beating second-tier Benevento 6-2 in a match played behind closed doors following the racist abuse of Senegal defender Kalidou Koulibaly last month.

Inter ran riot in an empty San Siro as part of the punishment the club received for the monkey chants directed at Koulibaly during their 1-0 Boxing Day win over Napoli.

Inter were two up inside seven minutes thanks to a roaring start that saw Mauro Icardi open the scoring from the spot following a foul on Antonio Candreva, who was on hand to crash home after striker Icardi hit the post from a corner to double the hosts’ lead.

The tie was put beyond doubt in first-half stoppage time when Dalbert collected Ivan Perisic’s pass and thumped in the third, and Croat Perisic was on hand again shortly after the break to cross for Lautaro Martinez to make it four with his head.

Benevento forward Roberto Insigne smashed home a free-kick that his brother Lorenzo, in action later for Napoli against Sassuolo, would have been proud of, but Martinez scored again in the 66th minute to mean that Filippo Bandinelli’s goal for the away side was nothing more than a second consolation.

Candreva’s second deep into added time was the cherry on the cake for Luciano Spalletti’s side, who in the quarters will take on Lazio, embroiled in a racism scandal of their own.

Their 4-1 thumping of third-division Novara at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico on Saturday was sullied by racist and anti-Semitic chanting dismissed by the club as a “psychosis focusing on a minority or non-existent incidents.” (SuperSport)
